Can we solve Australia’s city problem? (Part two) : Comments

By Ross Elliott, published 22/7/2025

Seventy per cent of Australians now live in just eight cities – a concentration driving housing shortages, congestion and failing services, all fuelled by federal immigration policy.

Government sponsored slums are the only answer to start the fix the of the growing numbers of White unhoused Australians; you’ll never see black and MENA trash living on the streets, all comfortably housed in Government sponsored social housing, grinning away!

I’m losing patience with this nit picking author, with no idea of the real problem!

There is a sure-fire way to solve the problem: stop mass immigration, foreign students, and deport useless non-citizens.

Decentralision won't do it. Small, peaceful communities don't want their lives ruined by multiculturalism. And, ignorant Third World peasants have nothing needed in the countryside. And, you would need a lot of them to survive because they don't speak English, and they don't assimilate.

Just because country folk accept all the hardships imposed on them by all governments - lack of just about available to city slickers - doesn't mean that they would tolerate the foreign invasion envisioned by geniuses who have never been anywhere these alien intruders.

Cutting immigration to that which is vital to Australia - not to immigrants themselves - and clearing out the rubbish already here, is the only way to fix things in a country mis-ruled by self-serving arseholes.

Actually, there might be a chance to solve that problem if people stopped voting Labor, Teal & Green.

WTF?

ttbn states: "doesn't mean that they would tolerate the foreign invasion envisioned by geniuses who have never been anywhere these alien intruders."

Once again ttbn's opinion is completely opposite of what is happening in the real world.

In April this year, Port Hedland Mayor Peter Carter, chair of Regional Capitals Australia (RCA), a peak body formed in 2012 to represent 51 regional hubs including Geelong, Wagga Wagga and Townsville said the following: the " RCA is calling for urgent reforms to immigration settings to better funnel new arrivals to regional areas...".

There were 65,000 job vacancies outside of the five major capitals Australia in February, according to the Regional Australia Institute.

“In Broome they were advertising for a barista for $100,000 a year,” Mr Carter said.

So it appears that regional Australia do want and would welcome increased immigration numbers to their regions.

I live Forster, on the mid north coast NSW. It's a nice beach town.
But finding a GP is a major drama - 4-6 weeks wait. All the podiatrists are booked up for months. For specialists it's either wait 6 months or a 2 hour drive to Newcastle or Port Macquarie.

We've had enough - we're moving to a big city.
